Finding Yvonne

by Brandy Colbert

For fans of Nicola Yoon and Nina LaCour comes a striking novel about difficult choices from acclaimed author Brandy Colbert.

Since she was seven years old, Yvonne has had her trusted violin to keep her company, especially in those lonely days after her mother walked out on their family. But with graduation just around the corner, she is forced face the hard truth that she just might not be good enough to attend a conservatory after high school.

Full of doubt about her future, and increasingly frustrated by her strained relationship with her successful but emotionally closed-off father, Yvonne meets a street musician and fellow violinist who understands her struggle. He's mysterious, charming, and different from Warren, the familiar and reliable boy who has her heart. But when Yvonne becomes unexpectedly pregnant, she has to make the most difficult decision yet about her future.

This book really was named appropriately, because it's about Yvonne exploring who she is and what she wants now and in the future, while also trying to come to terms with her abandonment issues. I struggle a little with some of Yvonne's choices, but I thought they were important for her to experience and see the outcomes of. I especially adored her stepfather, and loved how he nurtured that little spark in her, giving her another possibility for her future right when she was doubting so many things about herself.
